Body of Evidence

In this first video of the series, Dr. Menton and his students turn to the microscope to better understand how the various organs and organ systems work.

Without bones you would be a lump of fleshy organs. Without cartilage you would have no nose, no fingernails, and folding your arm or straightening your leg would be extremely painful.

The skin is the largest organ in the body and the one we are probably most familiar with. It is right there before our eyes every day, but without the aid of a microscope we cannot really appreciate its complexity and many important functions.

The cardiovascular system (the heart and blood vessels) is the most vitally important organ system in the body. Your heart pumps blood, and your blood vessels channel and deliver nutrient-rich oxygenated blood throughout your body.

The human respiratory system—of which the lungs are the largest component—is the most high-tech air purification and conditioning system on earth.

The average person eats about 100,000 pounds of food during his lifetime. Have you ever considered what happens in the body to make use of all those grains, meats, and vegetables—plus all those fun sweets?

In this DVD, Dr. Menton uses human anatomical models, microscope imaging, and detailed computer illustrations to describe the importance and incredible design of the human kidney.

No organs of the human body attest more abundantly to God’s creative handiwork than the ear and the eye. Dr. Menton’s casual humor and competence as a beloved professor makes otherwise hard-to-understand concepts both fun and easy to remember!

Finally, a human biology and anatomy series that declares "creation!" Join anatomist David Menton, PhD, as he takes you on a journey through the human body. Each student will want his or her own copy of this guide to maximize learning.
